Radiation Therapist

The Radiation Therapist is an Allied Health Professional who administers radiation therapy treatments to cancer patients.

Radiation therapists use advanced computer systems to operate sophisticated radiation therapy equipment such as Linear Accelerators. The therapist works closely with the Radiation Oncologists, Medical Physicists and other members of the health care team. They effectively design, treat and manage the patient's well-being during the course of radiation treatment. Radiation Therapists primarily treat cancer although other disorders and conditions can be managed through the care of radiation therapists. After the radiation oncologist has consulted with the patient and a decision has been reached that the application of radiation will benefit the patient, it then becomes the radiation therapist's responsibility to interpret the prescription and develop a treatment plan for treatment delivery.

Dosimetrist

A Dosimetrist is a key member of a radiation oncology team who specializes in the physics behind radiation therapy treatment. Dosimetrists are the experts who design radiation therapy treatment plans for cancer patients. The AAMD (American Association of Medical Dosimetrists) defines the Medical Dosimetrist as a member of the radiation oncology team who has knowledge of the overall characteristics and clinical relevance of radiation oncology treatment machines and equipment, is cognizant of the procedures commonly used in brachytherapy and has the education and expertise necessary to generate radiation dose distributions and dose calculations in collaboration with the Medical Physicist and Radiation Oncologist.

Medical Physicist

The job of a Medical Physicist is to "assure the safe and effective delivery of radiation to achieve a diagnostic or therapeutic result as prescribed in patient care (Medical Physics Scope of Practice)".

Medical physics is the application of physics to medicine. It generally concerns physics as applied to medical imaging and radiotherapy, although a medical physicist may also work in many other areas of healthcare. A medical physics department may be based in either a hospital or a university and its work is likely to include research, technical development, and clinical healthcare.
